Rawalpindi Cricket Ground: After Pakistan’s last game in the 2025 Champions Trophy ended in a washout against Bangladesh at the Rawalpindi Cricket Ground, skipper Mohammad Rizwan admitted that his side didn’t perform well in the competition, leaving them disappointed. Pakistan, the 2025 Champions Trophy hosts and defending champions, made an horrid start to the tournament by losing to New Zealand by 60 runs and then suffered a six-wicket defeat to India in Dubai, which knocked them out of the race for the semifinals.

"We wanted to do well and perform well in front of our nation. The expectations are very high. We didn't perform well, and it was disappointing for us. You can learn from your mistakes. We have made mistakes in the last few games. Hopefully, we can learn from these.”

“We are next going to New Zealand, and hopefully we can perform there and the mistakes that we made against New Zealand here in Pakistan, we can learn from that. And we will do better in New Zealand.”
